Don't we have the right to "face your accuser" ie getting automatic tickets from the government is illegal because you don't have an accuser.


The accuser is the state issuing the ticket.

And you do have the right to contest the ticket in court, before a judge.

Unless you have the free time, and some evidence that doesn't involve the fringe around the courtroom's flag, you're probably better off just paying the ticket.


You do in some states, like Minnesota. Red light and speed cameras are illegal here.

You do not in other states, like Virginia, which has signs informing you that they have planes that issue tickets (???)
